- y IMPROVEMENT 1N cHnRNs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part 0f the, Same V To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JACOB KLINGENSMITH, of Varreinlin the county of Trumbull, and Statev of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Ghurns; and I do hereby declare that-the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had lto theaccompanying 'drawings, making a partof this specification, in which- Figure l is a side view of the churn. Figure 2, a view of the front.

Figure 3, detached section. v

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several views. p

VThe purpose of this invention is to operate the dashers of a churny by means of a crank and pulleys, and the means employed for forming the jointed connection of the cranks with the sectional dasher, so'as to form `a ready mode of attachment and detachment, as hereinafter set forth, thereby reducing the labor of churning, and effecting the processiin a much shorter time than by the yuse of the ordinary hand-churn.

In the drawing- A represents a fra-me of wood, iu the top of which is journalled the crank-shaft B. r

On said shaft is secured a pulley, C, fig. 2, around which proceedsy a belt, 1), to the pulley E, on the shaft F, and whereby it is operated by the crank G, as will hereinafter `be shown.

On the door of the frame is placed and secured the churn H, which is or may be of the Ordinary description.

Said churn is provided with a double dasher, of which I '1' are the handles or stems, and which 4are connected tO-the cranks of the shaft B by means of -the links J J V'The immediate connection of the handles to the links is made by a hinged joint,a, the pivot of which is secured iuA place by a thumb-screw nut, b, so that the handles can be disconnected tiorn the links for the removal of the churn with ease .and facility.

The dasheris perforated, and composed of two sections, L L, iig. 3, each forming a semicrcle or nearly so.4 '.lo one section is connected the handle I, and to the other the handle 1', causing the sections to act reversely to each other ,when in operation.

' lhe practical operation of this churn is as follows:

The cream' on being thrown therein, which may be' done by lifting the cover K, is then agitated by the sectional dashers, actuated by Ymeans of the crank G, referred to, which in tur-n operates the crank-shaft B, to which the dashers are connected by means of the links aforesaid, thereby giving yto them a quick reciprocatingr and alternating action, which violently agi tates the cream, and doing the work of churning in a short time.

I am aware that an alternating crank-action has been applied to this claim; but

That which I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patents, is l The arrangement of the double cranks with the jointed links J J', provided with thumb-screws or nuts, in combination with the sectional dasher and churn, operating conjointly in the manner and by the.

`means substantially as described.
